Hii! I am a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of California San Diego with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, especially privacy-preserving ML, and time-series modeling, with a cumulative GPA of 4.0/4.0. For updates on publications and projects, see here.
I completed my undergraduate degree (B.Tech) at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD), in the Electrical Engineering Department in 2021. I visited the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon, France (INSA Lyon) in the Fall'19 as an exchange student in the Information Science and Technology (IST) Department.
I am passionate about constantly contributing to improving people's lives using the incredible power of Artificial Intelligence, including Deep Learning, multi-modal machine learning, and Privacy.
Apart from my academic interests, I love to surf and play basketball. I was awarded the prestigious IIT Delhi Blazer Award for consistently contributing to sports at IIT Delhi. I always strive to maintain a balance between my work and sports.
